About the course

Master of Science in Chemistry degrees can be obtained either by graduate coursework only (MS non-thesis) or by a combination of graduate coursework and research culminating in a written thesis (MS thesis). These degree programs may be pursued on a full-time or part-time basis with entry to the program possible in August or January of each year. The part-time MS non-thesis is a particularly popular option for chemists with bachelor?s degrees who are employed locally in St. Louis and are looking to upgrade their qualifications. Contact us by email or phone for an application package, for more information or to arrange a visit to campus.

　　The Chemistry and Biochemistry department has a strong research emphasis as well as a dedication to teaching, but is of medium size allowing substantial interaction between faculty and students. There is an international make-up to the faculty and postdoctoral fellows, and there are graduate students presently in the department from the United States and abroad. The department is very well equipped with modern instrumentation and computing resources. These include outstanding NMR, microscopy, X-ray and mass spectrometry facilities, with two 300 MHz and one 600 MHz NMR spectrometers, two single-crystal and one powder X-ray diffractometers, a Bruker Maxis Plus and GC-MS facilities. Areas of research specialization include the traditional areas of inorganic, organic, physical, and biological chemistry, as well as organometallic, supramolecular, surface chemistry, computational chemistry, laser spectroscopy and the study of new materials. Former graduates are employed in research positions in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, in academic positions, and in other areas such as high-tech computer applications.
